Michael Beale has admitted that his only worry over losing Malik Tillman in the summer is if parent club Bayern Munich are so impressed by his progress at Rangers that they want him back as part of their first team squad.
The young American international has been in superb form for the Ibrox club since Beale replaced Giovanni van Bronckhorst in November but the terms of Tillman's loan agreement from Bayern mean that Rangers have the first option to buy at a set fee - believed to be around £5m-£6m - if the Bundesliga giants decide to sell him.
And Beale is ready to meet that asking price in the belief that the 20-year-old, who has started all but one of the 11 games Rangers have played since his return to the club, scoring three times, including one in the 3-0 win over Hearts on Wednesday night.
